May 5 is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer last week released the 2010 Tribal Relations Report, which highlights efforts of the state and the eight tribal nations in the state to work together during FY 2010.
The 72-page report, a result of a 2003 state law, highlights more than 650 cooperative agreements, trainings, projects and collaborative efforts in effect between the state and the tribes during the fiscal year, covering every aspect of governmental operations, including economic development, the delivery of human services, environmental stewardship, cooperation on finance and justice issues and education.
“This report demonstrates the State of Montana’s commitment to sincere and meaningful state-tribal relationships,” Governor Schweitzer said in a press release announcing the report. “We look forward to continuing these historic efforts and strengthening the government-to-government relationship.”
